About Raphael Davy

Hello, I’m Raphael Davy, a financial advisor with Thrivent serving the Atlanta area. I’m passionate about helping retiring professionals, business owners, and individuals who are navigating major life transitions find clarity and confidence in their financial journey. At Thrivent, I embrace a mission-driven approach to financial advising by helping clients live generously and with purpose. I’m here to guide you toward financial clarity and confidence, whether you're planning for retirement, managing a business, or navigating a life transition. 

 

My Journey to Financial Advising 


Before joining Thrivent, I spent over 30 years with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), first as a chemist and later as a Consumer Safety Officer writing food and color additive regulations. That experience taught me the value of precision, discipline, and methodical planning which are skills I now apply to financial advising. I later transitioned into wealth management at JP Morgan, where I deepened my expertise in strategic investment planning, financial stewardship, and wealth preservation. 


A Personal Commitment to Legacy and Leadership 


When my father passed away, I stepped into the role of President and CEO of our family’s real estate property management business. That experience gave me firsthand insight into legacy building, asset protection, and generational wealth management. I also earned my certification as an FAA flight instructor, which sharpened my ability to plan meticulously, stay calm under pressure, and make disciplined decisions – all qualities I bring to every client relationship. 


My personal journey has shaped the way I serve others. I’ve experienced the transition into retirement, rebuilt my life after divorce, and raised my son and daughter as a single father with full legal and physical custody. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the emotional and practical challenges that come with major financial decisions.  I strive to offer not just financial expertise, but empathy and personalized support at every stage of life.
